Is there any palette more inspirational than that of Mother Nature herself? For our Spring/Summer 2013 collection, we were inspired by the blissful beauty of the ocean, where all it takes is sand, a surfboard, and a little sun to make a truly perfect day from sunrise to sunset.

We took the natural ombres from the sea and the sky to make great color options for beach bum boys and girls.

Take a look at some of our inspiration and outfit ideas:

MAD PROPS to Stroller in the City for this rock star quality photo shoot featuring our Mod Suit in Mist, styled with a black and white tee and some matching kicks. Ryder looks like he’s touring the Lower East Side with his elementary school British punk band or something.

Tristin and Tyler donned their matching Mod Suit blazers for a trip to Goodwill, where they donated some items they no longer needed, and did a little treasure hunting themselves! Appaman HQ’s resident thrift shop fanatics give ‘em two thumbs up.

Every season, we join forces with local graffiti style street artists to create our Artist Capsule Collection. This season’s designs come from AVONE, the artist who inspired our very first ACC, and we couldn’t be more thrilled about it. His new series is inspired by the many historic and iconic landmarks of NYC, and his unique take on New York really shines through in his work.

Get ready, Appaman fans! Our Spring/Summer 2013 collection is already arriving in stores, and soon you’ll be able to get it right here on Appaman.com. As always, we’ve got a special treat, a super fun behind-the-scenes video (with super catchy original music by Boots) where you get to see some awesome boys and girls in our awesome new threads, demonstrating how they look “in action.”

This video was shot in Red Hook, Brooklyn, a neighborhood near and dear to our hearts that was hit hard last year by Hurricane Sandy. Watching this clip gives of lots of happy memories of good times in BK, and we hope you have as as much fun watching it as we did making it!

Though if you watch it with your kids, you might have to explain what boomboxes and cassette tapes are first. Ah, youth.

Appaman’s Spring 2013 collection arrives in stores this month, and we can’t wait to share it with you. Check out our new Pinterest board, where we’ve shared some easy, breezy images of the sights and colors that inspired us this season. It’ll make you want to hit the coast and catch a wave:
